Met Opera Broadcast in HD:

Wozzeck

 

 

The Academy Center of the Arts has just announced the Metropolitan Opera HD Broadcast 19-20 season, featuring Wozzeck on Sunday, 1/19 at 2:00pm in the Historic Academy of Music Theatre.

 

After wowing audiences with his astounding production of Lulu in 2015, South African artist William Kentridge now focuses his extraordinary visual imagination on Berg’s other operatic masterpiece, set in an apocalyptic pre–World War I environment. Met Music Director Yannick Nézet-Séguin is on the podium for this important event, with baritone Peter Mattei making his highly anticipated role debut as the title character. Soprano Elza van den Heever is Wozzeck’s unfaithful mate, and the commanding cast also includes tenor Christopher Ventris as the Drum-Major, bass-baritone Christian Van Horn as the Doctor, and tenor Gerhard Siegel as the Captain.

 

The Academy Center of the Arts is proud to partner with Opera on the James to offer a pre-screening talk, beginning 45-minutes prior to the screening.

 

Join the Academy, Foster Fuels, and Opera on the James as Peter speaks about Wozzeck and relevant topics related to the Broadcasted Opera.

THOUGH OUR DOORS MAY BE CLOSED, THE ARTS WILL BRING US TOGETHER AGAIN, SOON.

It has been nearly two months since the Academy Center of the Arts closed our doors to the public in response to COVID-19. While this decision was not an easy one to make at the time, we did so knowing that the arts run deep through the veins of our City, and that when able, the arts would bring us all together again. 

Our latest video, produced by Watts Creative Studios, is a note of hope for our patrons and supporters. While our doors may be closed, our lights are on, our blade burns bright, and our marquee remains lit.
 
We’ll see you again, soon.
